Copenhagen (thing)

Copenhagen where I come from refers to something entirely different. For all those who have not guessed by now I mean chewing tobacco. The act of using these products is called "dipping snuff" by many. It comes in a little brown can that says Copenhagen on the side, and has a little metal lid on the top, I have some in my pocket right now. You take a little pinch and nestle it between your cheek and gum. It gives the user a buzz the likes of which cigarettes cannot compare to. Similar to Skoal, copenhagen comes in long cut about 2mm to 6mm in length, and short cut about 1mm to 2mm in length. It is a tobacco product and can cause cancer.

Copenhagen is the tobacco of choice for most cowboys and oddly enough, alot of the geeks I know.
